...should be instructive as well as highly amusing. For the editors have somehow managed to infuse more humor into the staid appearing contents than is usual in the ordinary burlesque of this type. Though there are bits obviously designed to cause the Inhabitants of Radcliffe to stealthily hide a blush, there are also sketches reminiscent of the Transcript number at its best...
...Ehrensperger's suggestion in the Alumni Bulletin that we extinguish the flames of college radicalism by pouring tea on them, is a little less quaint than it might appear at first blush.

And now to these awful chapters must be added the Haitian chapter--a scandal which the mendacious mal-administrator of the Navy Department is now trying to whitewash by appointing his own investigators to investigate his own record after he has been "caught with...
